Pre-Listening Task:Writing

1.)What issue/s of the world/nation do you think must we focus on?

Why?
We all want a healthy,peaceful,and a problem-free world where everyone has a smile on their faces and a
fulfilling life with nothing to worry, far from what our world is today where there are tons of problems
we’re dealing with such dismay.We are well aware that many of us are suffering because of the issues and
problems in our society,as the time passes by, the number of these problems are increasing and also
becoming even more worse which is why we need to resolve it by taking actions,but,is our actions enough to
make a change?Millions of people around the world live in extreme poverty, with an estimated number of
689 million people worldwide as of 2021,they live everyday with a fear for not having enough food,no
choice but to drink an unclean water, live in an unpleasant environment,and have their children forced to
work instead of going to school.This pandemic is one of the issues that we must deal with ,it also makes the
poor situation even more worse,millions of people lose their job which is their source of income resulting
into extreme hunger and made their lives harder than before,it is really heart breaking to see that if any of
the problems dominates us,it’s the world’s poor who suffer the most.I am afraid that this problem will last
for years or forever for worst ,these problems are cause by one another,there are hundreds of issues we must
deal with,but issues like this is what we must focus on.
2.)From your play list,which song do you think is relevant to the society
and problems we are facing right now?Explain why.
This Pandemic and other issues has a really big impact in people’s lives and our society,it bring us a lot
of problems, troubles and pain, it is like a trial that determines who will survive or go astray.There is a song
in my playlist that reminds me of what is happening today, it is titled as “Pagsubok” by Orient Pearl,it
simply implies that it could be our world who make us suffer and we can’t really avoid all the problems and
trials that will come to our lives. But, we must not think that we’re the only one who’s suffering nor we’re
alone,despite of all these things we should not give up and fight them all.We’re now experiencing a really
strong calamity that dominates our world and made everyone feel hopeless, it affects us in various ways and
might result into a long term hard time recovery.But like on what that song is message to us many trials will
come to our lives that seems unbeatable but we shouldn’t forget that our Lord God won’t abandon
us,problems may continue to come but it doesn’t mean that there’s no end at all.This song is very
inspirational,it reminds us that whenever the are trials and sufferings that comes to our life,we must not give
up instead, continue to fight,even if this is a problem about family,health,education,on our
jobs,relationships,poverty or this pandemic who make us all suffer, we should stand up and fight with our
heads high,it is a battle of our life,it is just a trial we can overcome.
3.)How are you coping up with the situation right now?
A lot of changes happened since the pandemic begins, and a lot of problems and hardships came in to
my life which cause me pain but also taught me lessons.I cannot deny that at first it is hard to make an
adjustment, I don’t really care for what is happening before but as I felt it, I noticed that life seems like
becoming unproductive and indifferent.Due to the situation we are facing right now , I know that isn’t just
only me but I’ve really done things i don’t usually do and can’t do things anymore that I normally do.I
know that life is becoming really hard and a bit challenging, there are even times that I felt like I’m
lost,depressed and useless but I’ve overcome it all little by little with the guidance of our Lord God and also
by setting goals,taking a break about everything,introducing myself in to different things,and having positive
thoughts that makes me stop overthinking.I manage to overcome all the hardships I’ve been through in this
situation right now,I experienced both failures and success,Happiness and sadness,fear and confidence
which made me strong ,people around me also helped me ,‘till I came up into realization that anything can
be overcome if you have trust in yourself,this pandemic affects million of lives including mine,we have our
own problems and hardships and coping with everything maybe difficult but as long as you hold on and
keep yourself strong you can get through for sure .
